The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1887-07-01

mere sometime THIS 1alI, recently eug.
gested in the REGISTER, has been
favorably received by the stock men
and it is now quite probable that the
show will be held. Mr.. Pancoast in.
forms ..us also that the Horticultural
Society will probably have an exhibit
ton with it. The Society wants to
prepare an exhibit as usual to take to
the various fairs, and the idea is that
instead of sending man through the
country as heretofore, there shall be q
sort of preliminary fair here to which
fruit growers will be invited to bring
their best specimens with the under
standing that after their exhibition
here they shall be turned over to the
Society. The Society think that by
fixing on the same day on which the
colt show is held and by offering
reasonable premiums they can obtain
fully as many samples as will be need.
ed at much less than the usual expense
The plan seems to US to be an admirable
one, and one that will meet with the
hearty approval and encouragement of
all our people. If the stock men and
the horticulturists work together they
can certainly succeed in interesting the
IL
when that is done they will have u
"fair" right here and one of no small
dimensions.
Mr.. Geo. +. Burkholder, of Marina
ton township, has this week received
patent for broom corn cutter which
he invented and proposes to put on the
market at once. Mr.. B. has tested the
device thoroughly and is convinced
that it will save at least one third of
the labor Of cutting the corn besides
leaving it i'm better condition and
leaving the stalks in better shape for
future blowing. The machine is very
simple, and cheap and can be made bv
any farmer, and we believe that it will
come at once into general use. The
REGISTER is having a cut of it made
and we hope to show it to our readers
next week with full description of its
opera ton.

The School Board has employed
Prof. F. H. Umholtz, of Easton, Pa,
as principal of the High School for the
year. Prof. Umholtz comes
with the most extravagant recommend
atoms from places where he has held
similar position and there seems no
doubt that he is fully qualified. Her
former pupils will be delighted to
learn that the Board has also employed
Miss Barker for the same position she
held last year. The positions in the
lower grades have not yet been deter
mined upon.
